Why this is better

Verified live content, bibliography, FAQ, and excerpt already correctly reflect both fixes (1975/Cognitive Psychology and 2001/Psychological Science). No action needed on this contributions scope. Note: flagged a separate, distinct FAQ entry (out of this contributions scope) that conflates the 2001 and 2007 Strayer studies for a future pass.
